NEENA KUMARI

I was stranded in India when my husband with whom I lived in UK for four years deceived me. He lured me to go on a holiday to India with him but on route, he damaged my passport and left me at Bahrain Airport. I managed somehow to reach India with a view to applying to British High Commission, a Returning Resident Visa on a new passport. My husband made false allegations against me to the British High Commission and no decision was taken for 10 months by the Entry Clearance Officers in my case. My misery was exaggerated when my husband served on me a divorce petition from UK. In these circumstances when I was not able to go to UK to defend the divorce proceedings, I wrote to many influential people including Member of Parliament in UK as well as to the Home Office. Unfortunately all of this did not yield any favourable results. One of my well wishers contacted Mr. Chadha, an Immigration Lawyer of UK Immigration Consultancy (P) Ltd. who arranged for the necessary documentation to prove my status in UK and presented the same to British High Commission who agreed to issue a Returning Resident Visa to me. I am grateful to all the staff of UK Immigration Consultancy (P) Ltd. who were sensitive to the plight of a poor woman stranded in India.
